Merrion

Merrion is an English name most likely derived as a variant of Marian or Marion, themselves forms of the Latin name Maria, which traces back to the Hebrew Miryam, a name of debated meaning but often associated with the roots for beloved, sea of bitterness, or rebelliousness. Its use has been particularly associated with Wales, where Meirion or Meirionnydd is a historic regional name of Welsh origin. The name remains rare and is sometimes considered an elaborated or regional spelling variant. Related forms include Marion, Marian, and the Welsh masculine name Meirion.
